Can't beat the classic blend for my approaches
Does anyone know if the Fuzion Judge ever comes in black? I have a black Classic Blend Judge for putting and would like to try one in Fuzion for driving.

I actually have a black fusion Judge. I have only used it in my indoor practice basket.
Any interest in selling it?
I currently bag a couple Judges: one for in the circle putting (Prime or Classic Blend, depending on season) and one that's beat in for workable/understable throws and long putts (Prime). I was throwing a Lucid-X Judge for stable drives for a hot minute, but pulled it out of the bag in large part due to my reticence to throw limited run discs. I'd like to try throwing a Judge that will:
-stay stable longer than Prime,
-have a firmer feel than Classic Blend, and
-be easier to find backups for than Lucid-X
The obvious answer is to grab a stock Lucid or Fuzion, however, the massive dome in those plastics really bothers me. So from what I can tell, my options are to try Classic Judges (I'm leery of their durability as a stable thrower), or try to flatten the dome on a Lucid (I've never done that before, which makes me nervous), or just keep throwing a different mold for that slot. Anyone had the same conundrum? Thoughts?
I know a similar question was asked a couple years ago, but I'd like to get feedback from people who currently use Judges as their workhorse putter mold.
If not for that pesky easier to find part, I'd say Classic Hybrid. I grabbed one when they were released and if I had to do it over, I would have grabbed 5 of them.
My condolences. I feel the same way about the single Lucid-X that I picked up. Those LX Judges came out with the great shape of a Classic/Blend/Prime Judge but with super premium durability. But alas, I'm afraid to throw a disc that I don't have a like-for-like backup for.

Never got my hands on a LX Judge. Kinda sad I didn't. But, is what it is. I've been in your boat. I also bag a fresh and beat Prime Judge for putting in and out of circle, respectively.
You're right, though. Premium Judges are not the same. I have a couple lucid, and both are domey, resulting in me not throwing them (poor hand feel). Classic would have a trade off; not as durable, but cheaper (but probably not cheap enough). My experience is Classic and Prime are not too different in terms of durability.
Anywho, my result was to try out different thrower molds. There are a million options, though... I have settled on the Reko; it's a little shallower than other putters and has a flat top, so it's comfy. It's HSS and has a little fade until it's beat in. I also tried the tomb, but it's a little more OS (a la Envy). The Maiden isn't bad. In premium it's domey as expected, but it's shallow so it is still comfortable. They are glidey though! And, honestly, requires some hyzer to fly straight (they got some turn: I tried 3 dif VIP).
Doesn't hurt to try something until ya find a good fit! I'll say, I like the Reko, but I still find myself hunting for something else.
Changed my mind (big surprise, haha). Decided to take the Lucid-X Judge out of storage and I was rewarded with a near ace on its second throw. I think I'll bag it through the end of the season and just switch back to one of my Proxies when the snow hits. And hopefully DD will have some misprint Lucid Judges available sometime this winter so I can try to flatten them via the hot water method.
The premium Judges I had were already flatter, maybe not board flat. I guess I am surprised that they are domier now.
Interesting. How long ago did you buy those? I've only been bagging Judges for a year, but looking back through this thread it seems that most people feel they've been domey for a while. I love the shape of baseline plastic Judges and the Lucid-X run came out really close to that, but that's the only premium plastic Judge I've ever seen that resembles the baseline shape.
